For that remote job, just be careful to check the law first. Some states tax telecommuters. I do not believe California is one of them, but I also do not believe that will last forever since lord knows they need revenue.
All CA has to do is redefine "source" and poof, free money. http://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/manuals/audit/rstm/3000.pdf http://www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/manuals/audit/rstm/3000.pdf section 3420 "The critical factor in determining the source of income from personal services is not the residence of the taxpayer, the place where the contract for services is entered into, or the place of payment. It is the place where the services are actually performed" - change that definition, and there goes your sweet telecommuting tax break.
